Snack Grocery List
As students, it’s important to nourish and fuel your bodies with nutrient-rich and energizing foods. | Food Attitudes
Remember: there are no good or bad foods! Food is simply fuel Lately, the term “clean eating” has pervaded our social media news feeds. Be mindful of your attitude towards food and the messages you send yourself. A balanced and accepting tone is far more helpful over time than a critical and cruel voice. |
Watch Your Words
How we talk to ourselves matters-we are valuable beyond our size and shape.- I’m grateful for what my body can do for me
- I make the people around me feel good
- I am kind, fun, and funny
| Friends, Fun, & Fitness
When we work out, let’s shift our attitude. Rather than focus on the caloric burn, make it social, enjoyable, and about health. |
